Machine Party Smoking Contest

Overview

Smoking Contest challenges test subjects to finish cigarettes faster than rivals inside a no-smoking facility where hidden guns resolve failures. Pacing beats panic mashing — animations must complete cleanly or the facility penalizes you. The Steam achievement Full Pack tracks 20 cigarettes smoked cumulative across your account, not a single lightning-fast round win.

Global unlock sat near 0.3% in early August 2026, matching Will it blend? from Lethal Rebound as the joint-rarest Machine Party badge. Budget multiple custom lobby nights with friends to finish the counter.

Rules

Smoking Contest presents a rhythm minigame: interact to puff along a progress bar while rivals race beside you. Trailers frame the mode as dark comedy — adult themes mean streamers should verify overlay rules before broadcasting public lobbies.

Calm inputs win rounds; spam clicking often triggers failure animations in Klubnika-style timing games. Watch opponent hand animations for tells; fake early finishes bait rivals into overshooting per social deception tactics.

Tactics

Twenty total cigarettes across many Smoking Contest rounds. Full fixed-order playlists visit this mode once per ~hour run — insufficient alone for Full Pack. Host custom lobbies and repeat until Steam pops the achievement.

Check Steam achievement progress UI if exposed; otherwise tally roughly five cigarettes per session across four sessions. Pair with Table Manners rhythm practice — Gluttony wants one sub-twenty-second eat, while Full Pack wants long-term smoking volume.

When surveillance tightens, pause puff inputs entirely. Track approximate cigarette count aloud — “fifteen of twenty” — if Steam progress UI is hidden.

Audio and inspection beats

Headphones help catch inspection windows similar to rhythm tips on hazard routes. Puff during safe beats, pause when surveillance tightens — exact UI labels may shift after v1.0.7 gameplay patches.

Session etiquette and placement

Smoking Contest closes many fixed-order playlists — reset tension after brutal modes like Chisel Gauntlet or Minefield. When grinding Full Pack, tell friends upfront so they do not shorten custom nights early.

Track approximate cigarette count aloud across sessions if Steam progress UI is hidden — “fifteen of twenty” prevents stopping early. Pair long grinds with achievements reference tables so newcomers understand why 0.3% badges take multiple nights.

Smoking Contest often ends fixed-order marathons — use it to decompress after Lethal Rebound chaos. Calm inputs here contrast sharply with hacksaw physics; reset mentally before scheduling another full run.

Long-session ergonomics

Twenty-cigarette grinds span multiple nights — stretch hands between sessions and avoid chaining Smoking Contest with other rhythm modes unless your group schedules breaks. Mutation standings still update during casual puff rounds, so not every repeat needs tryhard pacing.
